How CCXCV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 295 | CCXCV |
CCXCV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CC (200) + XC (90) + V (5) = 295.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCVC
Why isn't 295 written as CCVC?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: CC (200) + XC (90) + V (5) = CCXCV.
Wrong: CCLXXXXV
Why isn't 295 written as CCLXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 295 is CCXCV.
